Details on the upcoming 07/2020.25 from Chinese forum
https://club.autohome.com.cn/bbs/thr...8570671-1.html
The OP apparently has access to the internal upgrade toolkit and some official documentations. Latest iLevel versions table: Here are some highlights: - btw OP's G28 325Li has 5AU installed. 1. CarPlay moved to Apps view. (also confirmed by https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh...7&postcount=29) https://club2.autoimg.cn/album/g29/M...c5mdeV0901.jpg 2. CarPlay navigation now shown in IC and HUD https://club2.autoimg.cn/album/g1/M0...loJHp2I514.jpg https://club2.autoimg.cn/album/g29/M...LIpb2Sg605.jpg https://club2.autoimg.cn/album/g25/M...lOKO_4c274.jpg 3. New automatic window app https://club2.autoimg.cn/album/g30/M...VRkQK9Y341.jpg https://club2.autoimg.cn/album/g30/M...VRkQK9Y341.jpg 4. Digital Key 1.0 to 1.5 details Quote:

From what I read is that Digital Key 1.5 needs iLevel update at the dealer. RSU will bring some new features but not all. This collaborates Jay's comment in another thread that Android Auto will only be available at dealer update. 5. Given the complexity of this major version, OP says there will be incremental .xx updates coming out this month. 6. Numerous small UI changes in iDrive7 Last edited by havenyoung; 07-14-2020 at 06:11 PM.. |

One thing I still don't understand - when is the new digikey produced, which supports iphone? Because mine is manufactured on 19th of july and I'm wondering whether I'm getting the new system or the old?

Very interesting.
Are we saying that older vehicles (pre July 2020) with Digital Key Card and Comfort Access could be upgraded to support Apple CarKey as well as Android Auto etc? |

But he also said the car before July can upgrade to new version as well by updating software. |

I got this upgrade today via dealer in UK when having some issues with sunroof fixed. Nov 2019 build.
Not noticed anything major yet but will play tomorrow starting with CarPlay nav.

Another perspective is that If you look at the latest press about the July update, their strategy is to sell you as many post-purchase upgrades as possible. I doubt they would let this opportunity go if people are willing to pay. |

I do think that this could be a bit of an issue with Apple actually. Funnily enough Apple got annoyed at BMW for charging a subscription fee to CarPlay and was the driving force behind abolishing it (not the disgruntled customers and bad press). I wouldn't be surprised if Apple told BMW that they can't charge Digital Key to existing customers so BMW just cut their losses and won't offer it to older vehicles at all. Hope I'm wrong but that's probably what will go down. |

Google and Apple maps work in the HUD with turning directions but no map is shown in the digital dash. Waze doesn't work in the HUD or digital dash unless there is a setting I've missed. Wireless Car play is more stable Android Auto works fine testing with my Wife's phone but not used it extensively because I use an iPhone. BMW navigation maps look slightly better but not noticed anything with the 'cloud maps' BMW talk about IDrive feels quicker Comfort access also working better in that the walk up and walk away is more responsive
